Shiseido Holiday Ribbonesia Limited Edition Collection

Nov 06, 2018

Shiseido Holiday Ribbonesia Limited Edition Collection reflects Shiseido’s Holiday Spirit – its warmth, humanity, and uncontained joy. For Shiseido product, beauty is –literally– a splendid gift. Something that can perfect, soothe, and brighten not only a person’s skin but her spirit and overall outlook too. Keeping in mind this spirit, the collaboration between Shiseido and Ribbonesia is called a natural collaboration. Shiseido’s name comes from a passage in the Chinese classic I Ching which translates to mean “How excellent are the virtues of the earth, from which all creation is born.” Like Shiseido, Ribbonesia finds creative inspiration from the regularity, complexity, and essential beauty of natural forms.

‘Just as a painter uses different brush strokes, Baku Maeda uses various twists, bends and folds to create colorful, sculptural art pieces using ribbon as a medium. Toru Yoshikawa develops the theme and concept for each one. Together, they make art as a team, known as Ribbonesia. Some of their work is as simple and understated as origami. Other pieces are intricately tangled and complex. Inspired by forms found in nature, Ribbonesia brings out the essential beauty of the natural world around us, in three-dimensional color.‘

Shiseido ModernMatte Powder Lipstick Expressive Deluxe Mini Set – Ribbonesia Limited Edition is perfect to add color to the holiday season. From soft neutrals to brilliant holiday reds, this mini-size collection is a gift of texture and color for the lips. The creamy lipstick transforms into a weightless powder on the lips, enveloping them in velvety color. Inspired by the curated shades inside the reusable acrylic keepsake box, Ribbonesia’s art creates a colorful statement on the outer package.

The collection of shades in this set is so beautiful, ranging from neutrals to bright shades, it has everything that one needs to go through the season as well as to transition to the next season. The formula is very creamy, smooth, and comfortable to wear. It is moisturizing, feels light on the lips, and the staying power is nice. The sizes of the lipsticks are perfect to keep in a bag on the go or just to try out the shades or to give it as a gift to a friend, family, or relatives. The shape of the bullet is perfect to apply it with or without a lip liner and glides on nicely on the lips. Each tone of this expressive, ultra-thin lipstick draws its inspiration from Japan’s captivating nightlife, eliciting visions of the vibrant neon signs and dazzling billboards that furnish Tokyo’s trendiest neighborhoods.

There is one more product in the collection, the same amazing product in new holiday packaging – Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate Ribbonesia Limited Edition (reviewed here), which has also the most beautiful packaging and the product inside keeping in mind the Shiseido’s holiday spirit.
